i'm actually not pigeon-toed by the way

Am I the only person who feels self-conscious about being photographed by another person? I don't think I mentioned this before but I finally bought a remote (along with the aforementioned lens) which I thought would facilitate this whole outfit photo process. Unfortunately that involves limiting myself to areas in and outside of my apartment where I can lug around a tripod without being seen by so many people. Okay, I honestly haven't had the time to try it yet but for the most part, due to my inability to focus well enough with self-timer, I've had to ask my friends to take my photos for me. Half of the time they come out but the other half they're just not good enough but I'm afraid to ask for more. I'll take what I can get anyway.

Even now, however, I can't keep a straight expression when someone else is taking my photo, hence the not-so-fierce goofy expressions that naturally grace my face on a daily basis. You see that second photo on the right? I'd call that a more accurate representation of what the people around me see everyday (rat's nest hair included). What else is there to say? I bought this slip from Clothes Contact in the Mission and layered it over another slip and a crinoline from Anthropologie for a little extra bounce. This remind me of that Rodarte x Target that everyone has, except I wasn't really in love with the original... I don't really know why but I wasn't very motivated to buy anything. I'm really obsessed with mustard at the moment and can't get enough! I love the details at the top, I wish I'd taken a photo without the coat. Today was such a nice day, too.

your goofy faces set you apart from the sea of bloggers out there - it makes your blog much more entertaining to visit than those with moody stares off into the distance. love the toggle coat (still) and i like that you took inspiration from rodarte but still put your own vintage twist on it.

Ohh I am very shy when it comes to pictures and that's why I don't have any outside pictures in my blog. I feel soo silly! And I hate people looking at me! But I'm still gonna try to take pictures outside my home! You look super cute! I love your smile!

Fantastic pics and I love that jacket. I'm with you on someone else taking my picture. Up until I had ankle surgery I wouldn't even let my husband peek into me taking pictures, but now he takes them for me...I can't wait until I can start taking them on my own again.

This is really cool! I have been searching for find a navy duffel coat but to no avail. Well there was a really cool one at Gap for like forty dollars but unfortunately it was extremely small. Also, aside from liking every piece of this individually, I really like your bag. Where is that from?

i know exactly how you feel about other people taking your photo. it's just really weird and half the time they dont come out the way you want or arent "blog-worthy" enough.i love your vintage duffel coat!! i went around japan looking for one like yours but i couldnt find one :(

I feel the same way. I'm very awkward and self-conscious when someone else photographs me.And I don't do outfit blogs, so I can only imagine how awkward it must be to have to do that so often.I'm glad you do though!I love the outfit!

I can totally relate about being self-conscious when being photographed by another person. I always look so stiff and faked. But hey, you are totally look cute in those shots taken by other people! Oh, and love your coat, btw :)

these are actually really great photos, they look professional. wow.and you look beautiful, loving your outfit.don't worry, i'm probably the most awkward-stanced person ever, and i can never be straight faced in photograps without looking like i've just been hit over the head. especially in comparison to me you're doing very, very well.
